The Joint Mathematics Meetings are
held for the purpose of advancing mathematical achievement,
encouraging research, and to provide the communication necessary
to progress in the field. These meetings serve to preserve,
supplement, and utilize the results of the research of mathematicians
the world over. Keeping abreast of the progress in mathematics
results in the furtherance of the interest of mathematical scholarship
and research.

These lectures will be held in Ballroom Salons 1 and 2, Lobby Level,
Marriott Wardman Park Hotel. Read
